Explain Time complexity and Space complexity of an algorithm.Time complexity of an algorithm determines how much time an algorithm takes to execute as the input size grows larger. Space complexity of an algorithm determines how much additional memory will be needed for the algorithm to execute as the input size grows larger.2. What is the difference between a linked list and an array?A linked list is a data structure where each element contains a reference to the next element, whereas an array is a data structure where elements are stored in contiguous memory locations.3. What is a hash table, and how does it work?A hash table is a data structure that uses a hash function to map keys to values, allowing for fast retrieval of data, even for large datasets. The hash function computes an index for each key, which is then used to store the associated value.4. Explain the difference between SQL and NoSQL databases.SQL databases are relational, meaning they use tables to store data and have a predefined schema. NoSQL databases, on the other hand, are non-relational and do not have a pre-defined schema, making them more flexible and scalable.5.
